SINGAPORE - The two-day Covid-19 surveillance testing for workers in Chinatown was off to a strong start on Monday (Feb 8), with more than 70 people seen waiting to get swabbed at lunchtime.
When The Straits Times visited at around 1pm, the queue was seen snaking out of the Kreta Ayer People s Theatre where the tests were being conducted.
Staff wearing personal protective equipment were conducting registration and taking the temperature of those in the queue.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) has said that free Covid-19 surveillance testing would be offered to stallholders at the food centres and markets, retail shop owners and service staff, food and beverage workers, as well as those engaged in food delivery in and around Chinatown.
